Hi Fishes,

I’m a Data Scientist with 6.5 YoE currently earning 20 LPA (16 LPA fixed). I have hands-on experience in building and deploying ML/DL applications in the cloud and 2 years of experience with Generative AI. My team is hiring another Data Scientist with similar experience, and I’ve noticed people quoting nearly 2x my current salary.

I have two questions:
1.Am I being underpaid in my current role?
2.If yes, what upskilling would you suggest to help me secure a more competitive salary?

For lack of better words, you are grossly underpaid. At 6.5 yoe, your package should range somewhere b/w 30-40 LPA. And if you really have deployment and couple years GenAI experience, that should put you above the rest. Get interviewing I'd say. Good luck!

Edit: The idea is not to make you feel bad about your current scenario but to let you know what the skillset it worth.

Here’s the revised version with your additions:

What is your experience in your current company?

I think the compensation is okay; it’s not underpaid. Recession and layoffs have started in Western countries.

It's better to stick to a secure job. If you have spare time, consider preparing your profile by writing blogs, contributing to open-source projects, or completing cloud certifications. When you're ready to switch, look for opportunities with big brands that offer a good work-life balance, a positive culture, and good managers. This approach will help you secure a good raise and won’t make you appear as a job hopper.

For preparation, you need to keep giving interviews and learn concepts along the way if you don’t know. This will help you always be confident and also will help in generating offers. When you feel need to switch, you would be ready the next day.
